Thirded

Had the b*stards on my farm, they parked in a field opposite a leisure centre and took baths in the swimming pools. Then they set fire to our hay and were getting jobs around town (stupid people hiring pikeys). Took us a few months to get an order to move them!

Me and my buddies went for a little ride today and it's good to be back on the bike after 2 weeks of crappy weather and homework I got some piccys for you to feed on so feel free to comment. (These are guys who are registered on here).

Ok fair doos, where can I go about getting these pads you are suggesting?

I am sure you can find the Pro 2 hubs cheaper than above, but if your handy with your maintenance save yourself a tenner and build the wheel yourself. There are plenty of websites that show how to lace a wheel. Bare in mind, tighten your spokes evenly or you will egg the rim Hope this helps. Jon. P.s. If ittoo expensive try a cheaper hub although pro 2 are awesome. Also on the topic, I hear there are Pro 3 hubs being released???? *EDIT* Heres a list of prices taken from Tartbikes: Hope Pro 2 Front- £45 Hope Pro 2 Rear- £110 Hope Mono Rear- £80 (cheaper option) DX32 Rims- £20 each Spokes- £10, might be worth getting the Sapim Race ones for looks and strength. Post here when you haveve decided what your getting, I am interested to know

Very useful information guys. I am definitely considering upgrading to rock pads after checking the description on Tarty too, but as soon as I have some spare cash on my hands (little poor at the minute). While this subject is open, what are your views on braided hoses for maguras as mine, plus many of my friends, seem to snap off once a month! Any info welcome, Jon.

Thanks very much, good advice! Any other people are still welcome to post and further help me. Are there any good Onza pads for a medium/harsh grind? Thanks, Jon

I have recently grinded my rim and I would class it as not being a light grind lol. I did this due to many slips and constant bum ache, but to cut to the chase: There has been many debates on what pads to get for a grind (hard or soft compound). currently have the standard magura pads (red) and will be needing some new ones soon. I hear the soft compound pads wear out quickly on a grind and this is understandable as it acts like a rubber, although they do grip well. Alot of my friends think that hard compound pads will last longer, but i disagree. If a hard compound pad were to catch sharply on the grind, rather than flex, would it break away/chip off? Any comments would be helpful and feel free to tell me what you are running! I might aswell add will a brake booster make much difference on braking power and hold? Cheers, Jon.

I have a clear hose on the rear that looks soooooo awesome with the Blue magura bleeding oil. I accidently bought the disc brake bleeding kit when I snapped off the rear cable. The hose didn\'t fit my Rim brake so I used the bleeding tube (lol) and it actually fit really tight and had the bonus of looking awesome!!! I wouldn\'t recommend it though Maybe you should invest in some braided hoses. Hope this helps. Jon!

I have to admit, when i saw that A2 on Tarty. I nearly wet myself lol! It\'s SEXY!

I live in Fleet and we used to have a really old bmx park. After lots of nagging and a large number of names put forward that would be interested in the build of a new park. Our council granted permission and allowed the riders/skaters to design the park. Luckily the new park is coated in a grippy paint that allows us trials riders to make use of some of the gaps without falling on our @sses. I can suggest to you that collecting a lot of names/signatures of people that would be interested in a new park might open the eyes to your local area for one.

Onza seem to rarely change their models. I have the 2006 T-Pro and it is very near the same as the new 2007. As thutley said, the specs will probably be very near the same and they may not even consider launching a 2007 model. If you have a previous model of the T-Mag that is fairly recent and you are considering upgrading to the 2006/2007 model, then I would suggest saving your money as it would most likely be the same frame. Waiting for a bigger modification may be the best bet. I too would like to see a pic of the new 2007 T-Mag if there is one! Jon

Yep, very good lol I wish I was as good as him

I'm 16 and ride 20" hehe. T-Pro ... Can't beat it

Get riding again, the streets are better than ever and what a waste of a perfectly good bike it would be!

That's really cool mate, that's a pretty hefty drop of the phone booth. You're a lot better than me, but i'll get there soon hehe. Good luck with the rest of your riding, Jon.

Very simple. You need a tool that removes the old freewheel with a chain whip aswell. Then all you have to do is screw on the new one by hand, grab the back break and push down on the cranks and this will automatically tighten it. If you can't get hold of the tool just get a local bike shop to do it. Hope this helps. Jon

I think I've already said this, welcome to the forum and I'll be sure to ask for your help in the future!!

Welcome to the forum mate, I'll be sure to ask for your help as soon as I need it hehe!

This is true, I had the same problem with my old bike and I swapped them over and it fit like a glove! Hope you get it sorted, Jon!

Well I have spent £380 and haven't got anything new since!

That's strange as T-Pros have a lot of adjustment, maybe your chain has stretched, but if your using the same cassette I can't see how a new pair of wheels will affect it. let me know what you think, Jon

I get this too! A decent pair of gloves usually does the trick, but my favorite way is to tape a thickish layer of tissue to the lever as its more comfortable. I also put a plaster on each of my fingers for extra comfort and it works really well. Hope this helps. Jon By the way, I'm not sure if a new lever would help you. Possibly one that has a smoother edge or a bigger leverage.
